The U.S. government uses foreign wars to distract people's attention from internal problems. That's according to rapper and political activist 'Immortal Technique'. In an exclusive interview with RT's Marina Portnaya he says America's bad decisions are covered up with lame excuses.

The brother speaks the truth, and in an articulate way that doesn't come off like he wants to sound 'street' or whatever. I get sick of rappers that sound like mentally retarded children because they think it's cool to sound like a dumb thug.

As for the issues, yeah Afghanistan is an utter joke. The US forces still honestly believe that establishing 'relationships' with the locals will help them defeat the Taliban/Al Qeda/terrorists/whatever the fuck label they want to put on a target they deem is their prime objective to defeat.

Pop quiz: how can you tell the difference between an Afghan local, a taliban and an al qeda member?

Answer: It doesn't matter because you're an American! While you're in Iraq or Afghanistan still trying to identify who is who, they know exactly who you are.

I mean this tactic of establishing and nurturing relationships with the locals is the same lame approach they have used since the Iraq war began{and lord knows what other previous conflicts). Has it helped achieve their goal? Is there a legitimate goal any more when Wall Street/corporate America/banks are in the business of fucking over Americans?

Not only is the US military's approach to winning the war a joke, it's extremely offensive and insulting. Especially when troops go into these regions and destroy the locals cash crop in the form of poppies or marijuana in order to get them to grow 'legal' crops that result in them paying taxes. I mean who the fuck are we to go into another country and tell them how to live their lives? Do we have the highest quality of living in America for everyone? Have we figured it all out to start spreading democracy to places and peoples that could care less about having their voices heard? They just want to survive!

So it's all a travesty, or as Woody Allen put it, a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham.

Bring all the US troops back home from Iraq, Afghan, hell Germany, Korea, Nepal, etc. Time to stop chasing shadows in the dark. Time to concentrate on making this country a better place and stop wasting lives, money and worthless translators.

Apparently history hasn't taught anyone jack shit, whether it's history pertaining to war or financial crimes.

There are bigger and worse terrorists on Wall Street. They helped bring this country down to its knees and it didn't take flying lessons.
